More Than Sweat
More Than Sweat is a natural extension of Brook Benten's 2024 book, "Sweat with Brook Benten." In both, Brook encourages movement and emboldens humans to go at hard things with gumption.
With every word of every episode and every page of the book, she guides her audience to a world of well-being where worth has nothing to do with a workout.
She encourages listeners to walk as they tune in to episodes. In season one, every episode is synchronized to music to guide a walking pace.
But the message is always more than sweat.
This podcast exists to guide growth.

More Than Sweat
Season 2, Episode 7: We Settle For OK When We Don’t Know What It Feels Like To Feel Good
This episode begins with the background on today’s juicy title.
Next up, three stories that back the statement.
Not sure you believe the negative effects of a diet rich in sugar and ultra-processed foods? Follow our show up with this podcast, titled “How Sugar and Processed Foods Impact Your Health.” You’ll gain a deeper understanding from Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., a neuroendocrinologist at University of California at San Francisco, and best-selling author on nutrition and metabolic health. (But not a single “beaucoup” or mention of The Real Housewives. You’ll have to stick with me right here for that.)
HEAVY 100 kicks off on March 18. It’s a 100-day program to help you feel good.
H: 10 minutes of heavy dumbbell lifting a day (I’ll give you the workouts, written and in video format.)
E: 20 minutes of Endurance aerobic activity outside a day
A: Abstain from alcohol
V: Vegetables, vegetables, vegetables
Y: Yield screen time (an hour that you find yourself typically on your phone, deliberately make that screen-free time. Selecting the hour before bedtime has sleep benefits.)
Here are all the program details, including a link to register! You may register now for the Mar. 19 through June 25, 2024 program.
